2014 Scott Speedster Bicycle Recall

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Scott has voluntarily issued a safety recall on its 2014 model year Speedster 30 and 40 and Contessa Speedster 25 and 35 bicycles.

There has been 1 reported incident of a fork breaking. No injuries have been reported.
